How to disable the spoken warnings like "Heat sink destroyed, heat sink destroyed, heat sink destroyed, heat sink destroyed, medium laser destroyed, medium laser destroyed, medium laser destroyed, medium laser destroyed, medium laser destroyed, medium laser destroyed, medium laser destroyed, medium laser destroyed" ?

I'd like to have warnings for heat, ammo and damage etc but not in a spoken way. Asimple bleeb will do. Has anywone experience editing the soundfiles in the game to replace the speech messages?

Do you warn your girlfriend or wife when you come?

Complain about something more important then just Betty.

No one touches Betty at her secret place.

Has to be said.

Some people have created sound packs in the past, such as one that turns all sounds to "pew" or one that makes all the sounds get replaced by MW2 ones, but I've never seen one that shuts up betty.

You could ask, I doubt anyone's interested though.

No complains, just the modern way of expressing oneself on the high tech gaming forums.

There is an option to turn her off completely in settings. Go settings -> audio and turn down the dialog volume slider all the way. Unfortunately it's all or nothing.

Here's a video if you can't find it.

If you edit the sound files, the game won't launch, just deal with it. =/

I keep mine at about 30%, for a quieter Betty.

Shh, Betty, it's okay. I know that my AC/20 ammunition has just been destroyed. No Betty, I don't want to try Zanflax. Yes Betty, I know there's a new target. No Betty, that advertisement doesn't apply to me.

I don't mind the volume, but I don't need the laundry list and would prefer a more limited option. "Shut up, Betty, I know what was in the arm" is something everyone who's played with me is tired of hearing.

would be fun if those computers cussed at each other and commented each other too

like that boy computer says 'the target computer is on', betty then adds that 'the system is on' and the boy comp would cuss at betty that he already said it and there is not need to repeat etc

So it is not possible to edit in your own sounds anymore Konoving?

I'll just turn the voice volume down then.

Thanks for tips anyway.

Post editing a video, sure. But kinda it. Since if someone can edit the sounds, they could do things like make mechs that much louder... or change textures so that everything is bright red. We can't have nice things because people...are people. :(

It might be possible to convince someone at PGI to patch in something to allow external sound files for the UI. Many games have a moddable UI and while PGI probably won't ever make a fully moddable UI because of the amount of money they spent on the current one, this one thing should be easy enough to do without risking making the client easier to hack. The effect replacements like the pew pew noises probably aren't going to be an option though.
